Giuseppe Majorana

Giuseppe Majorana was an influential Italian physicist, born in 1906, known for his work in quantum mechanics and theoretical physics. He is best known for proposing the Majorana fermion, a type of particle that is its own antiparticle, which has implications in both particle physics and quantum computing. Majorana's work laid important foundations for understanding fundamental particles and their behaviors. His life took a mysterious turn when he disappeared in 1938 while in Sicily, leading to much speculation about his fate and leaving behind a legacy of untapped scientific potential. Majorana's contributions continue to resonate in modern physics.
